He added, “I mean, I love this show so much and Tony, who creates and writes it, and Elle, as well. I’m so proud of them getting nominated.”
While Hoult wasn’t surprised by Fanning’s nomination, whom he called the “heart of our show,” he said he “didn’t believe” his nomination at first.
“I saw things saying that I’d been nominated but I couldn’t find proof of it anywhere,” he explained. “So, I was kind of on the internet trying to be like, ‘Is this definitely happening? What’s happening?’ I couldn’t find it for a long time—my internet was being very slow.”
Thankfully, Hoult eventually confirmed his nomination and went on to celebrate in a way that would make Emperor Peter proud.
